PJ Grady (Europe) Wrote:Expensive? Really severe frame rot I'm afraid. Rather than pay the money to have it fixed properly - the previous owner bought loads of black Hammerite and tried to hide the problem. Our main concern is safety - as the front crumple tube is held on by little more than rust.
thats not good at all Darren - I take it this car must have been a US import then? Would it have had a UK MoT with the rot you describe? Actually, thinking about it, could a D have a rotten chassis like the car you describe and get an MoT? Its not as if they rust on the sills or jacking points like normal cars. I've had to have Guinney patched up on the last 3 MoT's
